Match Preview: Dortmund Travel to Stuttgart Before the International Break
Borussia Dortmund are 5-for-5 across the opening stage of the season (here on Fear the Wall, we don't count the Super Cup unless we win it!) and the team's momentum is swelling after navigating an injury crisis. Have no fear! A three-week international window is right around the corner to break that momentum before Dortmund enters a pivotal October stretch. Fortunately for Dortmund, they have one more match to extend their unbeaten run; VfB Stuttgart.

Postmatch Reactions: Serhou Guirassy Lifts Dortmund over Villarreal
First and foremost it's important to talk about Konstantinos Karetsas. The 18-year-old was taken off on a stretcher at the 27th minute and later went to the hospital due to 'circulation issues'. Hopefully Karetsas is okay, getting any/all care he needs, and will be back playing when he's healthy. I am not going to speculate on what the problem may be and I think anyone wanting to speculate should do so somewhere else.

Match Preview: Dortmund Head to Sinsheim for Matchday Two
After navigating the Summer Transfer Window, only one thing remains on Borussia Dortmund's schedule; football! The team started the season with three points against Hamburg and advancing in the cup against HEBC. Now they face their first big test; Hoffeinheim. The Sinsheimers were one of the Bundesliga's better teams last season after finishing just a point shy of Champions League qualifications.

Post-Match Reactions: Dortmund Begin Pokal Campaign with 5-0 Win
As the footballing world, including Ole Book and Lars Ricken, turned their attention to Deadline Day, Borussia Dortmund began their DFB Pokal campaign against 5th tier Hamburg-Eimsbütteler Ballspiel-Club. Kovac's side entered this match needing a shot of optimism after Giannis Konstantelias's injury to start the season. Fortunately, no cupset followed and Dortmund routed HEBC 5-0 across a very relaxed affair. The match went as expected with Borussia Dortmund rotating heavily.

Transfer roundup: Where Borussia Dortmund stands after the World Cup
Welcome back to club soccer, everyone! After 104 World Cup matches, club soccer is officially back on the menu. 48 teams competed, 11 Dortmund players featured for their national teams, 3 taxidermy animals were brought to Norway, 1 team won the whole thing, and 1 team crashed out 4-1 in front of a home crowd after their president strong-armed a very corruptible FIFA into rescinding a red card. Yes, I'm still upset about that.

Report: Adeyemi (Finally) Sold to FC Barcalona
Almost two weeks ago I wrote how Adeyemi to Barcelona was "a done deal". For reference, that was the same day Spain and Belgium played each other in the quarter final. Since then, we've seen Spain go on to win the World Cup, Dortmund begin their preseason, and this cite have at least 100 discussions on how Borussia Dortmund have no money. Well have no fear! It's finally official – Karim Adeyemi is no longer a Borussia Dortmund player.

Where to Watch the Bundesliga in 2026/27: What to Know about the New U.S TV Deal
I remember the Dark Ages: 2016 Fox Sports. Waking up at 6:30 am PST to watch Dortmund v. Ingolstadt in late March only to find that the game wasn’t on Fox Sports or Fox Sports 2 but instead was only showing on FoxSportsGo, a channel only a select few could access. We’re over that now, right? After all, Football is the ‘World’s Game’ and streaming has taken a huge step forward in the past decade! Wrong.

Match Preview: Dortmund Head to Borussia Park to take on Monchengladbach
The Battle of the Borussias returns to the Bundesliga tomorrow when Borussia Monchengladbach host Borussia Dortmund. Typically this match is billed as ‘Who is the better Borussia’ but I would reckon that a 35-point difference between second place Dortmund and fourteenth place Monchengladbach is enough to indicate which side is better this season. Instead, this match will be important for both sides looking to secure their positions.

If Adeyemi is linked with an exit on Tuesday night, I’m scooping that up for my Wednesday Daily Bee and leaving Sean or Paul with nothing but leftover Jadon Sancho rumors. It’s a cutthroat cycle that leads to anguish, hate, and likely all of us being replaced by AI in a few weeks. Today, that cycle ends.
Postmatch reactions: Dortmund secure Champions League football against Freiburg
Patrick Morrison After two of team's worst performances all season and watching Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga last week, Borussia Dortmund responded with some of the best soccer they have played in months. Sunday's 4-0 route over Freiburg was expected considering the away side's packed schedule but Dortmund looked dominant as they earned Champions League football next season.

Postmatch Reactions: Dortmund Secure Champions League Football against Freiburg
Dortmund’s Football is Evolving. Much of the conversation around Dortmund in recent weeks has been around evolving Dortmund’s current tactics into a more dynamic, attacking, and creative style. This game was another step in the right direction. Dortmund’s four goals were diverse and came from several players. Inacio in particular highlighted how tricky wingers add a much needed dynamic to this team. If Dortmund want to play attacking football next season, they’ll have to do it without Julian Brandt.

The Daily Bee: Concussions, Coulibaly, and... cockatoos?
Patrick Morrison The Bundesliga has reached an all too familiar stage once again; Bayern Munich are Champions and the rest of the league are fighting for the scraps. Borussia Dortmund, much like Arsenal, will have to be satisfied with second place as they look to wrap up the final four games of the season. The bad news is that while Dortmund struggle to find creative solutions on the pitch, us Fear The Wall writers struggle to find anything interesting to write about.

Instead, Dortmund find themselves 11 points behind a dominant Bayern Munich side with 10 games left in their Bundesliga campaign. This Topspiel had everything from red card reviews to flying volley kicks so let’s jump into it.
